Five Steps

  1. 1

    Paste or type your script

    Open the editor and paste the text you want to read. Each paragraph is split into readable lines automatically, for both English and Chinese text.

  2. 2

    Adjust font size and line height

    Use the FONT panel to make the text comfortable at your reading distance. Larger fonts and looser line spacing help when you stand further from the screen.

  3. 3

    Set the scrolling speed

    Use the up and down arrow keys, or the +/- buttons, to match the scroll speed to your natural speaking pace. You can change it at any time while reading.

  4. 4

    Start playback

    Press Start Playback (or the spacebar) to begin. A short countdown gives you time to focus before the text starts moving.

  5. 5

    Control it hands-free

    Space pauses or resumes, the arrow keys change speed or jump lines, H hides the control panel, and Esc exits playback. See the full shortcut list for details.
